Gradenigo’s syndrome (ear dis­charge+retroorbital pain+diplopia)
(b) Hearing loss—This is another common
symptom of ear disease. There are three types of hearing loss, conductive hearing loss (COHL), mixed hearing loss (MHL) and sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) with which patient presents with differ­ent symptoms.
Types of hearing loss—There are three types of hearing loss: conduc­tive, sensorineural and mixed.
– Sensorineural hearing loss—
Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is a type of hearing loss in which the root cause lies in the inner ear or sensory organ (cochlea and associated structures) or the ves-
tibulocochlear nerve (cranial nerve
VIII). This is divided into sensory hearing loss, which is due to cochlear pathology; and neural hearing loss, which is due to pathology in cochlear nerve and pathway.
– Conductive hearing loss—The
conductive hearing loss developed when sounds cannot get through the outer and middle ear. It may be hard to hear soft sounds, and louder sounds may be mufed. Medicine or surgery can often x this type of hearing loss.
79
– Mixed hearing loss—MHL is a con-
dition when both the components, conductive hearing loss and sensori­neural hearing loss, are present. It is caused by the combination of con­ductive damage in the outer or the middle ear and sensorineural dam­age in the inner ear or the auditory nerve. A person with mixed hearing loss will suffer from either perma­nent hearing loss or the temporary hearing loss. Mixed hearing loss can affect either one ear or both ears.
Causes of hearing loss (Table 3.4)
Presentation of hearing lossSensorineural hearing loss—The
main symptoms with which patient of SNHL may present are
Trouble following group conversations. Mufed conversation sounds. Loss of acuity in distinguishing foreground voices against noisy backgrounds. Difculty hearing high-pitched sounds. Difculty in understanding tel­ephonic conversation. Some kinds of sounds seeming excessively loud or shrill. Difculty understanding some parts of speech. Loss of directionality of sound (especially with high-frequency sounds) (fricatives and
sibilants).

3 History andExamination ofEar
Perception that people mumble when speaking. Difculty understanding speech. Associated symptoms are ver­tigo and SNHL. Tinnitus Vertigo Ear discharge H/o drugs, trauma, noise expo­sure, DM, HT, fever, ototoxic drugs, barotrauma, acoustic trauma
Conductive hearing loss—Patient
with COHL is presented in a differ­ent way:
Patients hear better in noisy environment (Paracusis Willisii). Difculty in hearing speech. A sense that own voice sounds different. Easier to hear out of one ear than the other. The sensation of pain in one or both ears. A sensation of pressure in one or both ears. Associated h/o ear discharge, physical trauma, earache, heavi­ness in ear, URI, nasal obstruc­tion, acoustic trauma, barotrauma.
Mixed hearing loss—MHL is pre-
sented in various ways:
Loss of clarity while listening to sounds.
Inability to hear at a normal hearing level. A consistent ringing or buzzing in the ears. Partial or full loss of hearing. A sensation of pressure in one or both ears. Difculty in following up the conversations.
Side of hearing loss—Hearing loss
may affect one ear and/or both ears simultaneously or at different times. There are various causes (Table3.5).
Time of onsetCongenital or
acquired
Congenital hearing loss—It is
due to maldevelopment of cochlea and presented either alone or in association with other deformities. It has been classied into two sub­groups. The rst is syndromic con­genital hearing loss, and second one is non-syndromic congenital hearing loss.
Syndromic congenital hearing loss—Almost 30% of patients
of congenital hearing loss belong to this group. Depending on time of onset, syndromic hearing loss can become apparent at any time from infancy to old age (Table3.6).

syndromic congenital hearing loss is a partial or total loss of hearing that is not associated with other signs and symptoms. Non-syndromic congenital hearing loss is restricted to the inner ear congenital deformi-
ties. The characteristics of non­syndromic hearing loss vary among the different types. Non­syndromic congenital hearing loss (NSSHL) can further be categorized by its mode of inheritance into two. The rst

one is autosomal dominant (DFNA), which accounts 20%
of NSSHL. This is postlingual and delayed in onset. The sec­ond one is autosomal recessive (DFNB), which accounts 80% of inherited NSSHL (DFNB), in which hearing loss is generally congenital. It is usually prelin­gual, non-progressive and severe to profound (Tables 3.6 and 3.7).
which means they are associated with a permanent loss of hearing caused by dam­age to structures in the inner ear. Less com­monly, non-syndromic hearing loss is described as conductive, meaning it results from changes in the middle ear. Some forms of non-syndromic hearing loss, par­ticularly a type called DFNX2, involve changes in both the inner ear and the mid­dle ear. This combination is called mixed hearing loss.
Characteristic Features of Non-syndromic Congenital Hearing Loss
Hearing loss can affect one ear (unilateral) or both ears (bilateral).
Degrees of hearing loss range from mild (difculty understanding soft speech) to profound (inability to hear even very loud noises).
The hearing loss can be stable, or it may be progressive, becoming more severe as a person gets older. Particular types of non­syndromic hearing loss show distinctive patterns of hearing loss. For example, the loss may be more pronounced at high, mid­dle or low tones.
The most forms of non-syndromic hear­ing loss are described as sensorineural,

Acquired hearing loss—Hearing loss presents after birth at any time in one’s life as a result of illness or injury or genetic factors. Depending on time onset of hearing loss, this has divided into three groups (Table3.8).
Prelingual acquired hearing
loss—Prelingually, deaf child is one either who is born deaf or who lost his or her hearing early in childhood, before acquiring lan­guage. Prelingual hearing loss occurs before a child develops speech and language, and is usu­ally associated with severe or pro­found hearing loss. This type of hearing issue appears in newborn children and infants up to the age of three, as their language skills have not yet fully developed.
Postlingual acquired hearing
loss—The postlingual deafness is a deafness, which develops after the acquisition of speech and lan­guage, usually after the age of 6.
Typically, hearing loss is gradual, and often detected by family and friends of the people so affected long before the patients them­selves will acknowledge the disability.
Perilingual hearing loss—The
perilingual hearing loss develops during the development of hearing and speech.
Causes of acquired hearing loss
Duration of hearing lossAcute hearing loss (<3months)—
If total duration of hearing loss is less than 3months, it is used to be considered an emergency (Table3.9).

Mode of onset—Hearing loss can develop gradually or suddenly.
Gradual onset—The gradual
onset hearing loss occurs over time. It can affect either one ear (CSOM) or both ears (otosclerosis, presbyacusis, noise-induced, drug­induced) (Table3.11).
Causes of gradual onset hearing
loss
Sudden onset—sudden onset
hearing loss (SOHL) is a subjective symptom in one or both ears. It causes great concern for the patient, especially when there is a 30dB or greater hearing loss over less than 72h/3days in 3 frequen­cies. It is of rapid onset, typically occurring within a few days. SOHL may be conductive or SNHL or
mixed hearing loss. Hearing loss can range from mild hearing impairment to a total loss of hearing, and it may be temporary or permanent (Table3.12).
Causes of sudden onset hearing
loss
Progression of hearing loss – Progressive hearing loss—Hearing
loss increases in severity since its onset (Table3.13).
Causes of progressive hearing
loss
– Non-progressive hearing loss—If
the hearing loss does not change over time, it is termed as ‘non­progressive’ or stable, static or not deteriorating (Table3.14).

Leading Question to Be Asked for Evaluation of Hearing Loss
When did patient’s hearing loss started? How did hearing loss progress either sud­denly or slowly? Does hearing loss involve one ear or both ears? Is there any history of ear discharge, dizzi­ness, pain, heaviness and tinnitus? Any family history of hearing? Profession of patient and noise level at pro­fession place? Any history of ear infection, trauma, stroke, diabetes, stroke and meningitis? Any history of medication for Diabetes mallitus (DM), TB, carcinoma and other ototoxic drugs?
Associated symptoms and history – Associated symptoms like ear dis-
charge, vertigo, tinnitus, heaviness, pain.
– History of birth and pregnancy
information, medical history, development history, workplace environment, home environment.
– History of drug exposure—expo-
sure of ototoxic drugs, either sys­temically or locally like aminoglycosides.
– History of trauma, acoustic trauma,
surgery.
– Family history of three generation
with hearing loss either syndromic or non-syndromic.

Table 3.15 Vertigo-like symptoms
Symptoms Denition Dizziness Sensation of perturbed/disturbed spatial orientation Disequilibrium Sensation of being off balance or unstable Oscillopsia Illusion of oscillation of visual environment Gait ataxia Imbalance of appearing drunk when ambulating. It may be cerebellar or sensory Syncope, presyncope Feeling of faintness or near- faintness, cardiovascular, autonomic and orthostatic
hypotension
Light headedness Sensation giddiness
3 History andExamination ofEar
– History of noise exposure—
Exposure to a single very loud noise such as a gunshot or bomb blast can cause noise-induced hear­ing loss, e.g. using headphones at high volume over time, or being in loud environments regularly, such as a loud workplace, sporting events, concerts, and using noisy machine. Noisy machines can also be a risk for noise-induced hearing loss.
(c) Vertigo—It is dened as either an
unpleasant disturbance of spatial orienta­tion or the illusionary perception of a movement (spinning and wobbling) of the body and/or of the surroundings.
Vertigo-like symptoms (Table 3.15) Classication/types of vertigo—The
vertigo has been classied according to rotation, stimulus involved, patient per­ception, site of lesion and periodicity of vertigo.
Induced—BPPV, cervical spondylosis,
hypermobile stapes syndrome, dehis­cence of SSCC
Patient’s perception
Subjective (feel like moving or swaying)—
chronic subjective dizziness (BPPV)
Objective (feel like surroundings are mov-
ing)—Meniere’s disease
Depend on site of lesion
Peripheral (due to involvement of inner ear
and vestibular nerve)—BPPV, vestibu­lar neuritis, labyrinthitis
Central—hallucinations of motion of their
surroundings, or a sensation of spin­ning, while remaining still, as a result of dysfunction of the vestibular structures in the central nervous system (CNS)— brainstem or cerebellar stroke, vestibu­lar migraine
Periodicity of vertigo
Episodic vertigo—This is dened as brief
episodes of intermittent, recurrent ver­tigo lasting seconds to hours with asymptomatic period in between
Rotation
Rotatory—vestibular neuronitis, BPPV,
Meniere’s disease
Non-rotatory (imbalance)—drug intoxica-
tion, phobic vertigo
Stimulus involved
Spontaneous—acute spontaneous vertigo
(vestibular neuronitis, labyrinthitis, brainstem or cerebellar stroke)
Attacks—vestibular migraine, PBBV, otitic syphilis, Cogan’s disease, vasova­gal attack, cervical spondylitis.
Constant vertigo—This is dened as con-
tinuous vertigo or dizziness does not relieve without medication. It can be caused by vestibular neuritis, central vertigo, vestibular neuronitis, stroke, drug intoxication.
